2 GHX-10 Overview

2.1 GHX-10 Description

The GHX-10 is a Universal Cross Converter that incorporates High-Definition Multimedia Interface technology, and SDI connectors that allow for any input to be converted to any output format or scan rate. It supports both SD and HD video and employs high quality 12 bit bi-cubic interpolation to ensure the highest quality picture. The GHX-10 can tackle many conversion tasks. It can be used as a computer DVI to HD-SDI converter (using a DVI to HDMI® adapter cable), HDMI resolution converter, or as an HD video up-converter or down-converter. It supports up to 8 channels of AES, HDMI and SDI audio. A two lines LCD display and scroll wheel simplify navigation through the GHX-10's menus.

2.1.1 GHX-10 Front Panel

This is a snap shot of the front panel:
Menu Wheel Signal LEDs
SD Card
An LCD screen is available in the middle of the front panel to facilitate controlling the GHX-10 without using the On Screen Display.
The scroll wheel with built in Select button and the ESC button can be used to navigate the menu structure and setup the unit.
The four LED indicators reflect the status of the various input signals:
• SDI-A LED
• SDI-B LED
• HDMI LED
• SYNC LED
The “PWR” LED lights up when the GHX-10 is powered ON. The infra-red sensor can be used to remotely control of the GHX-10, see Section 4. A SD Memory connector is available and can be used to perform firmware update.

3 GHX-10 Front Panel Controller

Throughout this chapter “press Select” refers to pressing the front panel scroll wheel button of the GHX-10 – see Figure 1.

3.1 Menu Items Overview

Press “Select” to enter the GHX-10 menu system then turn the “Wheel” to access the different menus:
• Input
• Output
• Image
• Sync
• Audio
• OSD
• System
• Status
Press “Select” to navigate one of the above menu items and access the list of available sub­menus. Browse the list of available sub-menus by turning the “Wheel”, then press “Select” to change settings of a given sub-menu.
Browse the available values by turning the “Wheel”. To choose the desired value, press “Select”. The selected value should be flagged with the # sign on its right which is the current setting indicator.
To go back to a higher level in this menu tree, press on the “ESC” button – Keep pressing it to exit the menu system.
The following tables list all GHX-10 setup parameters, items in bold are factory defaults. All video formats show frame rates and not the field rates, so 1080i-60 fields per second will be shown as 1080i-30 frames per second.
